Title: Improvements relating to correcting for transmission variations in colour televisionchannels
Inventor: TAYLOR ERIC WILFRED
IPC: H04N11/12
Filed: 1955-12-16
Abstract: 848,907. Television. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Dec. 6, 1956 [Dec. 16, 1955], No. 36090/55. Class 40(3). In a colour television system in which undesired transmission variations (due to variations in the sensitivity of image translating devices in the different colour channels) are eliminated by separately deriving signals representative of such variations in each channel and employing such signals to vary the gain of one or more of the channels in a compensating manner, the gains of the chrominance channels are controlled in response to signals representative of their respective undesired variations and are additionally controlled in response to signals representative of the undesired variations in the luminance channel the gain of the latter channel being unaltered. With this arrangement changes in hue in reproduced images due to relative changes in the transmission of the component colour signals are reduced without introducing undesired "noise" effects in the luminance channel which would result if the gain of this channel also controlled by variation representative signals "noise" effects do occur, however, in the chrominance channels where such can be tolerated and any luminance errors introduced by the arrangement according to the invention have little undesirable effect since they are unaccompanied by hue changes. In the described embodiments the variation representative signals are generated by directing on to the pick-up tubes for each channel, e.g. the R (red), Y (luminance) and B (blue) channels, the raster produced by a flying spot scanner 4 (Fig. 1) the beam of which is pulsed on - off at high frequency so that the desired signals may be separated from the undesirably varying image signal output of each tube by means of respective band-pass filters 12, 14 and 16. The output of the each filter is then detected in respective detectors 18, 23, 21 to produce control signals which, in the case of the R and B channels, are employed to vary the gain of respective amplifiers 17 and 20 and so produce at the outputs of these amplifiers R and B image signals free from the undesired variations of these channels and which, in the case of the Y channel, are employed to vary the gains of further amplifiers 19, 22 in the R and B channels respectively to produce signals on which the variations of the Y channel are superimposed. The output of these latter amplifiers together with the direct undesirably varying image signals from the Y channel are then utilized in connectional manner. In a modification of this arrangement (Fig. 2 not shown) the amplifiers 19, 22 are dispensed with the output from detector 23 being supplied to two dividing circuits to respective ones of which the outputs of detectors 18 and 21 are supplied and the outputs of the dividing employed to control the gains of respective ones of the amplifiers 17 and 20. Specifications 778,179, 824,248, 847,795, and 848,906 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to automatic couplers for rail vehicles
Inventor: WHITEHOUSE GLENROY DOUGLAS
IPC: B61G3/08
Filed: 1958-11-20
Abstract: 897,419. Operating railway vehicle automatic couplings. ENGLISH STEEL CORPORATION Ltd. Nov. 12, 1959 [Nov. 20, 1958], No. 37311/58. Class 103(5). To overcome the tendency of knuckle type automatic couplers to re-couple during shunting, each coupler has its lock operated from the track side by a rotatable cranked handle 19, Fig. 1, which is connected by a stem 16 and a torsion coupling 15 to a rod 11, a crosshead 12, and a rod 22 having the usual rotor operating hook 23 at its other end. The torsion coupling 15, Figs. 5, 6 comprises a spring 27 connected at one end 34 to a stop plate 28 welded to the stem 16, and at its other end 32 to a housing 26 which is welded at 31 to the rod 11. The stop plate has a slot 36 receiving a projection 37 on the housing 26 and the torsion coupling is assembled with the end 38 of the slot 36 engaging the projection 37 with the spring pre-loaded to this position if desired. In a modification, Fig. 11 (not shown), the spring is replaced by a rubber sleeve bonded between concentric metal cylinders force fitted respectively to the stem 16 and a housing welded to the end of the rod 11. The crosshead 12, Fig. 4, permits relative movement between the rods 11, 22 during normal movements of the couplers. In operation rotation of the handle 19 and stem 16 rotates the parts 11, 12, 22 and the rotor to release the lock, and also loads the spring 27 sufficiently for a considerable spring load to remain applied to the rotor when the handle 19 is moved laterally and lowered into a hook 39. The stop plate 28 is now positioned with the end 38 of the slot 36 in the position 38a, that is, with the projection 37 in mid position in the slot, so that as the coupler moves, the load on the spring 27 increases or decreases with the added or diminished rotation on the crosshead 12 and the rod 11 without completely removing the load on the spring or causing the projection 37 to abut the ends of the slot 36. Thus the handle 19 remains retained by the hook 39 and torsion is maintained on the rotor to prevent return of the lock.
